Killam Healthcare Centre welcomes doctor in training
The Killam Health Care Centre had a friendly new face amongst the staff this past month. It was Yazhini Subramanian, known to patients and other hospital staff as just Yazhini. She was a student intern working in the hospital under Dr. Sam Ogbeide for the month.
Yazhini grew up in Dubai and then moved to Calgary with her family. She currently lives in Edmonton where she goes to school at the University of Alberta. She is training to become a doctor as an undergraduate in the Medical Doctoral program.
As part of the program, Yazhini says, “All students must do a month of rural family medicine.” She says this is required because they want to encourage new doctors to work in rural areas such as Flagstaff County.
